Double Injury Setback for England in Women's Six Nations

A double injury setback has hit England, with Morwenna Talling and Natasha Hunt ruled out of the remainder of the Women's Six Nations due to leg injuries sustained during the 33-12 win over Ireland. The injuries occurred in the second half of the match, with Talling being taken off after 43 minutes and Hunt lasting just 13 minutes after coming on as a substitute. This latest development adds to England's woes, with Talling becoming the latest lock to be sidelined, following the withdrawal of Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward, and Rosie Galligan due to pregnancy. England head coach John Mitchell acknowledged the loss, stating that the team may have to rely on back-rowers, but is confident they can adapt. Talling and Hunt will remain in the England camp for specialist treatment before beginning their rehabilitation at their respective clubs. The RFU has confirmed that Sydney Gregson and uncapped Haidee Head have joined the squad in their place, ahead of the upcoming match against Scotland at Murrayfield.
